| Introduction | When I began writing, I only had a vague idea of where I was going with my story. Initially I wrote for my son in hopes of publishing a book about dragons, but ended up with a fantastical world of dragons and magic in an adventure about four children who find themselves lost and fighting for their lives. My goal is to provide children with interesting stories that will lead them down the wonderful and enlightening path to a lifetime of reading... For children like Emily, who came to one of my book signings at Borders in Simsbury, carrying a ragged and tattered copy of Dragon's Blood, dancing with excitement because she got to meet me, especially when I signed the book she so loved that day. To Mikayla, a young reader in Wallingford, CT, who, in her grandfather's words, "loved Dragon's Blood moreso than Harry Potter". Examples like this are why I'm writing. Reading is one of the most important things we learn when we’re young. If one can't read, one struggles to find a job, understand a menu, or enjoy a book which could take us to unimaginable places. Please feel free to leave comments or questions!!! Happy reading! MJ Allaire |
